You HIS OVIE ({ William Haines ta\es a movie of Robert Leonard, the great direc tor, and gives him some snap' py orders. Ernest Torrence poses for William Haines and how! projector, a film splicing machine, and all. The film, a narrow strip of tape, came in little light proof maga' zines that slipped into the camera much as a kodak roll slips into a kodak — not a bit more complicated. The first problem was to find a villain — and about that time Ernest Torrence sauntered by, on the way to his stage. I elected him. "You're the villain!" I told him and pointed the camera. "All you gotta do is look off, past me, very angry, and gnash your teeth." So I got him. Chaney had to put on a little makeup — because his contract won't let him pose before any camera straight — not even for a country club show — but with a few streaks of paint he made a tolerable villain. When Bob Leonard, the director, happened by, I did a few feet of him as a juvenile — and bawled him out plenty as a bum actor. It was my first chance to bawl out a director — but as director of my own film it was my pleasurable prerogative.
